GraphQL Edge Caching for WPGraphQL
Super fast and scalable WordPress GraphQL APIs – with Stellate for WPGraphQL.
Setup
Speed up WPGraphQL in minutes!
Set up your Stellate service
Sign up for Stellate and create a Stellate service that's pointed at your WPGraphQL API. While the default 15-minute cache rule works fine, you can increase the maxAge and swr values considerably since the WordPress plugin automatically handles cache invalidation for you.
Install the WordPress plugin
In your WordPress installation, navigate to Plugins --> Add New, search for Stellate and click the Install Now button. If you need help with the installation, feel free to reach out to us via the in-app chat.
Configure the WordPress plugin
Once you have activated the Stellate plugin, you will see a new Caching submenu in your GraphQL menu. Enter your Stellate service's name and a Purging API Token to activate the cache purging.
Case studies

“Stellate's GraphQL Edge Cache reduced traffic to our origin WordPress server by over 99%! Now our p99 response time globally is less than 50ms and our infrastructure costs are significantly reduced.”
